Ex-Indiana highway official expected to admit theft

A former Eastern Indiana highway supervisor is expected to plead guilty to felony theft for billing Union County for personal cellphone calls in exchange for prosecutors agreeing to dismiss three other theft charges and a charge of ghost employment, all Class D felonies.

A notice of intent to enter a plea of guilty was filed with the court Thursday for Wanda Hartman. The agreement doesn't include a recommended sentence. Hartman is scheduled to enter the plea Monday.

The plea agreement covers 279 minutes of personal calls.
